Would you like to have a more fuel efficient boiler that will
save on the bills? is your boiler over 12 years old? Are you
building a room in the roof or an extension? Maybe a new
kitchen? If yes to any of these questions, then your old central
heating boiler may need to be replaced, are you confused about
the whole subject?

Although all new boilers are now condensing
boilers that reuse much of the heat that would normally be
released from the flue, you’ll still have to make a choice about
which is the best type for you and your home. The three types of
boilers are:
-
Combination boiler
This is the most popular type of boiler now in around 60 per
cent of homes now have them (Glow-WormHeating.co.uk) and
because they provide both central heating and hot water
without the need for a separate tank to store water, they
can be tucked away into small spaces such as kitchen
cabinets - perfect for smaller homes with only one bathroom.
They provide instant, unlimited hot water and are compact,
but are unable to run more than one shower or bath at the
same time and the hot water flow rate will be lower than
with other types of boiler.
-
System boiler
A system boiler (also known as a “sealed system boiler”)
provides central heating and hot water through a storage
cylinder housed in an airing cupboard so there’s no need for
a water tank in the loft, as with an open vent boiler.
System boilers are ideally suited to larger homes with more
than one bathroom or en-suites housing families who’ll want
a lot of hot water and the ability to run more than one
shower or bath at a time. However, hot water won’t be
instant and once the storage cylinder has run out you’ll
need to wait for the water to reheat.
-
Open vent/heating only
An open vent boiler (also known as a heating only boiler)
provides central heating and hot water through a boiler, a
storage cylinder and water tanks in your loft. This is quite
a dated system and most people doing a full central heating
overhaul will opt to switch to a sealed system. Open vent
boilers are good for larger homes with an existing open vent
boiler. They have the same advantages as system boilers such
as a high flow rate and being able to run more than one
shower or bath at a time. But they take up more space than a
system boiler and also have the same disadvantages such as
having to wait for the water to reheat once it has run out.
For this reason, many people choose to have them replaced.
